Markus Wagner

Markus has been in IT for 22 years. He was one of the early adopters of UML and OO programming in Germany. He became an expert on the Rational Tool Suite and went on to become a methodology consultant for RUP.

Markus is passionate about making software engineering more efficient. As of about 10 years ago, he has been working with a diverse range of agile approaches for different customers, alternating between the role of a methodology mentor and a manager and software architect. Markus believes that in order to become more efficient as a mentor, one has to constantly try out and improve the models and approaches a mentor follows. This is why he is programming in Java and Objective-C/Cocoa.

Markus believes that a big source of efficiency in engineering is the bridging of the ways people express their thoughts and understand each other, and that agile approaches like Scrum, but especially HSD help in that area.
